well im starting to miss the polo now....no car to go out and play with whilst the weather is good so i decided to give the golf a big clean today as it realy needed it!
sadly had to remove my little friend charlie chaffinch who had become a "part" of my car for the last 3 days....
then a couple of hours cleaning and polishing....
the decision is what car next though....im realy starting to like the mk4 golf as its like a giant polo! TT....330ci? whats everyones views? im looking to spend anywhere up to £11k....preferably something cheaper that i can play with!

Well said that man
460bhp Turbo conversion
Don't get me wrong here, I like TT's but they're so common now.

hmm i want to have my own car though...not a copy!
you got big plans or keeping it simple?
ye there were a couple for sale not long ago but more around 370bhp...
also not totally shut off from buying another polo and doing a 1.8T.....just trying to decide how useable the power will be

well, still kinda decidin on wheels, unsure about smoothing bumpers at min as well, ur old one and maxz is are very nice examples its just hard deciding, u got any thought........

umh, wud u not bother doing anything with bumpers then mate?
yer thought bout it since u last sed summat, need custom adaptors which wont be cheap...
do like the splits tho (rm's and comp cxn's)

ye adaptors are pricey...but you could get a set of merc rims,refurb,tyres and adaptors for what you would pay for a set of RS's...!
na if i get a polo for a conversion i doubt i will bother smoothing....its been done now
GTI's look so good on coilovers with a nice set of wheels
